Im going to write a backend for Y because DirectFB wants to become 
more than a library.

Chad seems to be busy putting together packages for simplygnustep. Im 
trying to complement his work by building a stripped down distro 
optimised for gnustep. I have barely started though. I have only gone 
as far as bootstrap gnustep-make on a uclibc/busybox system. I used 
simpleinit from uil-linux. Its just a base development system now 
optimised for building ctools. Its a great to be free from autoconf at 
last.

No graphics at all. It might be worthwhile to build x for now but i 
want to have a non-x gui as a target.
